Jon Brooks’ 6th album, No One Travels Alone, accomplishes something truly interesting in modern songwriting: borrowing from the Elizabethan sonneteers, the album fulfils a ‘corona of songs. Corona form interconnects each song by first and last lines – the last line of the first song is the first line of the following song, etc…until the final song completes a circle, or corona. This brilliant new set of songs from Jon are interconnected, as are we; thus it is: ‘No One Travels Alone.’

With the release of PICTURES OF US, BRADEN GATES has proven himself to be deserving of a wider audience and worthy of the attention he’s received in five short years as a performer. Writing layered songs that bounce from those that brim with emotional depth and stark imagery to those that find the humour in life, Gates has quickly created a body of work that is impressive for its sheer volume. More importantly, his growing audience is moved by the poignancy and the poetic turns that bind his material. The touchstones of his talents are many and his influences run from traditional roots music to contemporary singer-songwriters, many of whom he continues to study. Have a listen here
Canadian Emilyn (piano, 5-string fiddle) and Italian Filippo (diatonic accordion) blend tunes rooted in tradition, with original compositions creating a transatlantic musical connection that is exciting both for an audience of listeners and dancers alike. One only has to hear the music this duo has recorded to appreciate their level of musicianship and creativity.

We are really happy to announce a brand-new album from two of our favourite folks – Pharis and Jason Romero
Sweet Old Religion carries a wide swath of their influences, from early 1920’s jazz, blues and country to 60’s songwriters like Levon Helm and The Band. The Romero’s deep love of old music, rural life, archaic banjo tunings, connection and community flow throughout the new recording.
The Fugitives describe themselves as a folk collective headed by songwriters Adrian Glynn and Brendan McLeod. With four albums already under their belts and a slew of CFMA nominations we are happy to welcome them to our Borealis family with their next release “The Promise of Strangers”.
